Tour de France 2015: Stage 12 – Lannemezan to Plateau de Beille
Bonjour! Stage 12, the final one in the Pyrenees, where the weather gods seem to punish all and sundry! From sunshine to hail, with driving wind and rain, it was a gruelling stage. There was a great spell by World Champion, Michał Kwiatkowski who with Vanmarcke lead for some distance, but the day belonged to Joaquim ‘Purito’ (the little cigar) Rodriguez, who rode a phenomenal last stretch to conquer the mountain. Wow! Here are my drawings:
Intermediate sprint
Slippery turns
Driving bend
Kwiatkowski, Elements being thrown everywhere and everyone,
Joaquim Rodriguez, Riding to victory, what a day!
Love that rain, you have really captured it. It was terrible some of the time!! 😦
